The Senior Chief has decided to do what appears to be a complete rehab of the engine on our motor home Maya; since she is an elderly old party, this is undoubtedly a good idea, but golly! He works in his own leisurely fashion and I should know (but consistently forget) after 37 years of marriage not to try to infect him with my own sense of urgency.
My own list is not minor league, but I am whittling it down. Yesterday I installed the new bathroom vent to replace the storm-damaged one. Today I will remove (with many a cuss word no doubt) the bizarre arrangement of caulk and broken plastic that caps our black-water vent pipe, and install the Splendiferous Vortexual Stink Remover, otherwise known as the Cyclone Sewer Vent.
Also on today's list is the removal of our DOA fresh-water pump, and a complete redo of the related plumbing. The previous owner hacked in an ugly arrangement of CPVC to fix some freeze damage at the pump and forgot (among other things) to reinstall the system drain and the valve that keeps the city water from back-flowing into the fresh-water tank. I'll use flex pipe for sound insulation as well as a rubber pad, and add a small accumulator as well. It will be splendid indeed!
Spring is creeping up on us here in Wisconsin; still hoping to beat it our of here soon.
As always, reality has a way of messing with my plans. I do possess the dubious virtues of extreme stubbornness and horns-down bullheadedness, so perseverance comes quite naturally to me. Reality doesn't stand a chance.
One more cup of coffee, and off to the day's labors!
